Two Guys and a Spa Dolly

Beautiful venue, quite cozy, friendly staff. Had a wonderful time

We used Arlington's for our wedding venue and we could not recommend them enough! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was on time and so delicious! All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue is. If you're looking for a venue that is easy to work with, affordable, and accommodating, Arlington's is the place. Ebben was wonderful through the whole planning process!

We were married recently at this venue. Ebben did a FANTASTIC job at making our day perfect! He really took out the guess work and made sure everything that I felt like was important to me was important to him. Arlington's catered food was phenomenal and he made sure every detail was attended to. Even when I did not opt for his chosen DJs, he went out of his way to teach our chosen person to work his sound system and there was absolutely no sign of judgement. I could not possibly stress how perfect our most special day was because Ebben made sure it was so! And our bartenders were absolutely phenomenal!Thank you Ebben and your staff for an amazing evening!

Attended a comedy show upstairs. It is a beautiful venue. Perfect for a small wedding or gathering. Bartenders were great and friendly!

Great burgers and nice beer selection. Very friendly.Never had an issue with service. I like their whiskey selection and this a great place to to grab lunch or dinner anytime.

They painted all of the original and hand done trim white. They say it is historic, but painting fine hardwood trim is just disrespectful. Hardwood, was gorgeously done, now just covered in white paint. I know the woodworker that hand built that bar; when we went to eat there he was really disappointed that they had just painted over his work. Food okay, not great. Nothing to write home about.

10/10 would recommend Arlington’s for any and all gathering simply due to the customer service. I had originally decided to use this venue for my engagement party, started working with Ebben, the owner, and he was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. I had to cancel the party due to a family member passing away and Arlington’s issued a full refund on the deposit. In my experience, I have seldom found a business willing to sacrifice profits for the good of their customers. Could not recommend more.

*Update to reply to owner: Thank you so much for the information! I wasn't told about parking options ahead of time, unfortunately. I checked your website but couldn't seem to find the info there (I was in a rush that day so I definitely could have missed it, though.) Really good to know for the future, and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!*Parking was not the most convenient, but that's not really something the venue has any control over so I wasn't going to take any stars away for it. Inside of the building was charming and airy (the event I was attending was located upstairs), and the food was absolutely delicious.

Ebben and his staff are amazing. I had my wedding reception here in 2017 and then hosted my sisters baby shower here today. Each time Ebben went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the food to treating us like family, I couldn’t have picked a better venue to host our important events. I look forward to having an excuse to have a event here again ?

I attended my niece’s wedding reception June 30th at Arlington. Besides being a great venue I cannot say enough about your staff! I am handicapped and walk with a cane. Every single person I encountered of your staff went out of the way to help me and make sure I was safe! I even got to ride on the “old time” elevator! KUDOS to Arlington’s on having such a great staff! I highly recommend them anytime!

Stunning venue, excellent coordination and service, and amazing food! We did a horseshoe bar for our wedding w a house salad and some other Appetizers. Super affordable and excellent price for everything we got. Highly recommend for any event!

Cannot recommend Arlingtons enough for your party, rehearsal dinner, or wedding! Extremely accommodating, timely communication and everything was exactly as we wanted/needed for our big day! The venue itself is gorgeous, but adding great food, bar and we even added the photo booth option - it was perfect! Can’t thank them enough for everything they did! Definitely recommend!!

I have eaten the eaten at Arlington's and know the family who owns and runs the business. In 2021, we used the arcade for my son's 16th birthday and it was perfect.I was sad to hear they had sold all of the arcades and have become just a catering venue, but I'm sure there will be many wonderful parties that are successful because of them.

Arlingtons was a great choice for our wedding! We did a horseshoe bar, all of our guests loved it. They were timely and great at communicating throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend!
